I remember the long row of plants with nets to keep the birds from eating too much of the precious fruit. They were my brother's favorites, and Grandma S made blueberry pies that were never too sweet, full of the wonderful perries.<BR/><BR/>But I remember the raspberries most of all, particularly learning how to pick them! As a young girl, I was sure you really needed three special hands; one to hold turn over the leaves (without pricking your fingers), one to pick the fruit (gently, gently), and one to hold the handled cups we used to capture the berries. When I see the store prices, I understand why they are so expensive.<BR/><BR/>Don't get me started on her tomatoes...Grandma was always on a quest for the perfect variety to grow. Grandpa was her faithful helper through all of this, and didn't mind all the good things on the table at mealtime, either :-)Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09748809418423591030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365306689589006129.post-30314306622689513392008-08-08T10:18:00.000-04:002008-08-08T10:18:00.000-04:00The recipe sounds delicious.

They're still good, but not quite the same as the freshly picked berries.June Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01723016934182800437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365306689589006129.post-89690286452395464792008-08-08T00:15:00.000-04:002008-08-08T00:15:00.000-04:00mmmmmmmm....maybe tomorrow night, after the gym an...mmmmmmmm....maybe tomorrow night, after the gym and the two-piano-four-hand session.<BR/><BR/>:-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365306689589006129.post-74447468022554219722008-08-07T23:48:00.000-04:002008-08-07T23:48:00.000-04:00Lynn, I shall expect you to deliver a pan of this ...Lynn, I shall expect you to deliver a pan of this to my doorstep by noon tomorrow.<BR/><BR/>BLUEBERRIES!!!!
